Saw this yesterday. So here are my thoughts:
1) Superman backwards is quite a stretch as a "new coaster". I like the new paint job, I like the idea of going backward. Though I think they should keep one side forward, seriously, people are still going to want to ride it that way. But I have a hard time accepting this as a "new coaster".
2) Green Lantern. This should be sweet, though the lines are going to be insane.
3) Kiddie Coaster. Meh.
I'm excited for Six Flags but I have a hard time with this promo. It's really only one new coaster in my mind. At least, only one that I really care about. But that one coaster looks great.

The video actually doesn't say three new coasters, just the youtube title. If you watch the video it says three new "coaster experiences". However, I agree with what you're saying Bud.
I do like the idea of Superman backwards. I think the hangtime at the top will be much more intense looking down about 400' to the ground as opposed to looking straight up at the sky and not really getting a good sense of how high you are. Plus the new paint job is a HUGE improvement.
The new Intamin looks great. I've heard nothing but good things about "Insane" from people who have been on it so I'm really looking forward to riding this one as it is about twice the size by this looks of it.
The "new" roller skater is fine by me as most parks lack in the family coaster/kiddie coaster department.
This really looks like the park is getting back to it's Xtreme roots. I hope that's a good thing. While I am all for adding new (and more importantly unique) coasters I was impressed with the progress the park had made under Shapiro as far as customer service and cleanliness was concerned. Hopefully they keep on track with what he started there while continuing to build on their nearly unmatched lineup of quality coasters.
